I used a hotter sauce than Tabasco and so probably need to dial back the amount just a gnat's, but it was 5-star tasty even so; the tequila worked so well with the chili and there was a bit of a smoky flavour to the result. Nice to see chilli sauce in a sweeter cocktail that isn't a rehash of a Bloody Mary.

I slipped with the Tabasco but I’m giving it 5 stars. I’m in love with it!

This is insanity. How in the world does this work? I used Sriracha (yes, I did), and it worked so perfectly with the pomegranate molasses. Like a savoury-ish Margarita, with it even feeling like a Daisy (even if it is a sour in practice). I would argue that a bad Tequila will probably break this drink though.

Absolutely agree with FB- brilliant pre dinner to whet the appetite. Do not think that more hot sauce would be better- perfectly balanced as is with 6 drops of Tabasco.

Really underrated cocktail in my opinion. It might just look like another boring tequila cocktail with spicy stuff but the taste of the Pomegranate molasses and the hot sauce gives this drink a really good round, fruity and bold flavor. Go make yourself one. Highly recommended.
